How many tweezers does the Braun Silk-épil 5 5/545 epilator have?
Like all Braun epilators for hair removal, the Braun épil 5 Series uses Micro-Grip tweezer technology for gentle hair removal. In the case of the Braun Silk-épil 5 wet and dry 5/545 model, there are 28 of these small tweezers operating together. They are capable of removing hair that is still remarkably short and barely noticeable. If you would prefer a device other than one of the best epilators for women from the Braun collection which doesn't rely on tweezer technology, then why not check out our range of lady shaver products instead? Both do a great job of removing unwanted hair effectively.
How long does the battery of the Braun epilator Silk-épil Series 5 5/545 last on a full charge?
It takes over half an hour to fully deplete the battery contained within your Braun Silk-épil 5 women's epilator. That is more than enough for most users to be able to fully epilate their hair whichever parts of the body they are choosing to use the device on. To recharge your Braun Silk-épil 5 power it for about 90 minutes once you have worn it out completely. Remember that you can use the epilator in its corded mode if you happen to run out of battery power and need to continue epilating - just be sure to do this away from water if you're charging your unit back up.
Is the Braun Silk-épil 5 epilator 5/545 suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, all epilator products made by Braun are suited to all skin types, including people who have sensitive skin. Note that some hair removal products, such as our range of IPL hair removal devices, are less effective on certain skin tones. That being said, this is not an issue for the 5/545 or any other Silk-épil 5 series product.
How do I clean and maintain the Braun Silk-épil epilator Series 5 5/545?
Because the Braun Silk-épil 5 wet and dry epilator can be taken into the bath or shower with you, it is easy to keep clean while you use it. After use, rinse your Braun epilator 5/545 and allow it to dry out thoroughly before putting it away. If any hair remains on your epilator, then you can wipe it off or use a soft brush to get rid of it.
Can a Series 5 Braun 545 Silk-épil epilator for women be used on the bikini area?
Yes, it can. This Braun Silk-épil 5 series epilator can be used on the legs, arms, armpits and on your bikini line, too. In fact, if you want to remove hair from your toes or knuckles, it will be effective on these body parts, too. Take care when epilating a potentially sensitive part of your body, though. Remember that hot water can make epilating pubic hair a more comfortable experience. Check out our other skin care products for alternatives when it comes to bikini area hair removal, including some devices that are also good for removing unwanted facial hair.
Are there different speed settings on the Silk-épil Series 5 Braun 545 epilator?
Yes, as well as the in-built SensoSmart technology which regulates the Braun 545 epilator to your hair's density, you can manually switch between two speed settings while epilating. For even more control, consider the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 range which has devices that have up to ten different intensity settings to choose from.
